194: How to Troubleshoot Any Fail: Part 1

What if the reason you keep repeating the same results isn't a lack of discipline—but the way you're interpreting your "fails"? In Part 2 of this New Year series, I'm inviting you to pause before you grab a fresh planner or declare a clean slate. Instead of starting over, we're looking back—with curiosity, self-trust, and 100% responsibility—to uncover the real gaps that quietly sabotaged your momentum last year. This episode is about treating yourself like a human (not a robot), learning from missteps without shame, and building systems that actually work in real life—especially if you're an overachiever who's tired of doing everything "right" and still feeling stuck.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/195 Register for the Live Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training

What if the reason last year didn't go the way you planned isn't lack of discipline… but lack of troubleshooting? In part one of this two-part New Year series, I'm walking you through how to look at the past year without shame, blame, or "fresh start" pressure—and instead use it as data. This episode is about learning how to identify what actually got in the way, so you don't repeat the same patterns when the calendar flips. This conversation is especially for overachieving professional women who hate feeling behind, avoid "failure," and secretly expect themselves to just figure it out next time.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/194 Register for the Live Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training

In today's episode, I'm having a conversation that's been on my heart for a long time: how to drop body shame from your weight loss journey without giving up on your goals. As we head into a new year, it's easy to approach health and body goals from a place of punishment—and I want to show you why that never leads to results that last. I'm sharing personal stories from my own journey and breaking down why hating your body (or the process) quietly keeps you stuck, and how it's possible to hold compassion for yourself and still want meaningful change.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/193 Register for the Live Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training

When you're working toward big goals—on the scale or in your life—discomfort will show up. But most overachievers confuse discomfort with deprivation and end up solving the wrong problem.   In this episode, I break down what discomfort really is, why it feels so intense, and the five places it quietly blocks your follow-through. If you've ever felt "stuck" despite having a solid plan, this will bring so much clarity.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/192 Learn more: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/ Take the Stress Quiz: https://burnstressloseweight.com/stress

As we wrap up this 4-part Stress Archetype miniseries, we're diving into one that hits especially close to home for high-achieving women—the People Pleaser (Fawn Response).

You'll learn why these moments have nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with stress dysregulation, belonging, and the ancient wiring of your brain.

In this episode, we're diving into the fight response—what I call The Advocate. If you're the woman who pushes harder when life gets messy, who double-downs and powers through even when you're exhausted, this one's for you. We'll unpack how the same drive that fuels our success at work and home can quietly sabotage our consistency and keep us stuck in the stress-weight cycle. Instead of trying to be "more disciplined," we'll explore what's really going on under the surface—how stress, cortisol, and unchecked emotions drive urges, cravings, and burnout. You'll learn how to regulate our stress, reclaim our energy, and stay consistent without needing more willpower.   Resources: Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/188 Learn more about The Unstoppable Group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/
